Still thinking about this one. 🍔 Back in 2023, The Overpass Merchant gave us the unforgettable Skillet Queso Burger: caramelized onions, cilantro aioli, poblano queso and a Tajín Frito crunch sidecar. Yeah… they understood the assignment.
Now they’re officially joining the Burger Week fun again this October, and we have one question: What do you think they’re cooking up this time? 👀
Baton Rouge Burger Week is coming October 19–31. Start getting hungry.

FIRST ONE IN! 🍔
Court to Table is officially our first Burger Week sign-up, and we couldn’t think of a better way to kick things off. Our DIG staff may already be a little partial to their smash burger 👀 so we’re VERY excited to see what they have in store for Burger Week.
Two full weeks. Lots of burgers. Plenty of reasons to eat your way around Baton Rouge. Who’s signing up next?
Brunch plans? We know a spot. 👀
Tucked into Mid City at Circa 1857, Leola’s Cafe and Coffee House is serving up brunch, lunch, cocktails, coffee, and plenty of reasons to stay awhile. Think pancake flights, shrimp & grits, brunch boards, a sunny patio, and live music.
